Marina's Rolls Royce

Please grin on. O general spin. It is the signal opener yet no real openings before his lager pension and grannie slope.

The Johnson & Ashton Axis of Evil

I have a set of BCFC crayons used by the very man himself. I sleep with them under my pillow and I will never sell.

You are forever quoting how much you spend and every time it's more than the last and it's now up to £1800. Are you going into the Gents at Ashton Gate to powder your nose? Damn that inflation. Damn that 5-0

Someone? It's a poster called Mendip Fox .

That's the trouble with you English Teachers. The days are long gone when they taught good England when you are a children.

#Me too

Blimey- he did all that? Top bloke. I bet Brian Tinnion , the owners and Richard Gould couldn't believe their luck.

Marginally off topic but.... Are we still going to rename a stand after Nigel Pearson? I'm really concerned that it's just a matter of time before he's only remembered for a couple of seasons of mediocrity.

Is Manning refreshing the parts that dinosaurs fail to reach?

Another great night for our excellent Director of Football and our brilliant owner and their increasingly great choice of Manager made for all the right reasons.

Indeed- something that didn't happen in the entire 22/23 season. Although we did have some fair mini runs of wins and draws- none were clean sheets and we never got more than two wins in a row.

That is the most breathtaking case of revisionist otib history .

It's Nige for me. If he'd stayed we'd already be promoted and have one hand on the FA Cup.

Me too! Or perhaps it should be - # me too.

Let it go.

Brilliant to see that BCFC are getting credit where credit is due. Great work from Tinnion under the excellent ownership of the Lansdowns.

I'll follow your lead and not post a comment.

What I like about your thoughts, Robbo and those of Jimmo is that you both state it how it is without the ridiculous hysteria attached to so many others who seem so full of vindictive spite. Was it Manning's intention to fail so quickly? He was always a gamble and has had a few incredible moments but is not producing the results or even the performances that he should be. It does appear ,however, that Jimmo is sadly bang on. Comments about "the worst we've ever played" and "worst Manager ever" are mainly from people with the memory and attention span of a goldfish. As to whether he'll ever be good enough is down to how long he's given ( in that it will prove his worth one way or another) but as things stand it's not looking too good for him.

Great news then- as I said, I think we're doing more right than wrong in respect of the financial side of the club thanks to the Lansdowns.

Most deals of that size are not all up-front. There are also add ons which are often dependent on other factors. If BCFC are doing something wrong then they are in good company with at least another 70 clubs who also fail to make a profit and continue to make a thumping loss. It's ironic that you say we're doing something wrong having taken on two teenagers and sold them a few years later for £35,000,000. I think that's doing something very right.

Well done- it's essential that you are

Has he signed yet?

This is a brilliant thread.
